Also, do you just do one small one at a time?
I try to size them to where not too much product escapes out into the ether. Then started doing 2 of those, and then this week 3.

the second link is kinda an infomercial for an enail but still some good info
yeah I def dont take "big" dabs by any stretch unless I'm goofin off making a vid or seshing with friends.
But as you'll read in those articles, when you wait for the banger/nail to cool down, the oil basically just bubbles and continues to emit smoke as long as the temp stays hot enough (the best quartz bangers are ones that hold heat the best).
So you use a carb cap to keep the oil temp up and you get like one huge hit, then 2-3 more nice ones. If you resist the urge to cough haha, you taste the terpenes a lot (diff based on strain and extract method). If you've only dabbed off a red hot nail, then you've never even tasted terps bc they got
scorched off immediately
short answer: no, you havent been dabbing optimally lol
youtube "dab melt shot"
edit: first few times I dabbed (~4yrs ago), it was off a red hot nail and I got uncomfortably high and it turned me off dabbing for like 3yrs (vaped oil mostly during that time). IME, low-temp is way less intense and overwhelming at first/in general but the high lasts longer, is more consistent. Makes sense bc youre getting to ingest all those psychoactive elements you were burning off too quick at higher temps before and the smoke is way cooler/smoother
